ExakTime offers two methods for an employee to enter and track their time: time cards with an in and out time punch for detailed tracking, or with time sheets with the overall hours worked by an employee. By default, new employees are set to track their time through time cards if not specified otherwise. Administrators can change an employee to track their time with timesheets, such as for supervisors or office workers, who do not need a detailed breakdown of their workday.
As time cards and timesheets can affect which policies are applied and which ExakTime Mobile features can be used, refer to the following dedicated article for more information on their differences.
- Go to Manage and click Employees.
- Click the pencil icon to the left of an existing employee.
- Scroll down to "Time Entry Method" and specify the desired method for the employee.
- Timecard (punch based) - Track an employee's time with start and stop times for down-to-the-minute time tracking.
- Timesheet (time block) - Track an employee's time with blocks of time in 15-minute/.25 hour increments, such as for salary or office workers.
- Save your changes. After having saved, you will need to do any of the following for you and your employee to see them:
